Chapter Information

Our Chapter

The Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of East Tennessee granted its first wish in 1988 and has granted over 850 wishes through the services of more than 120 volunteers. Any child 2½ and under the age of 18, who has been determined by a physician to have a life-threatening illness and has not been granted a previous wish, may be eligible. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to all eligible children, regardless of race, religion, or socio-economic status. Granting a child’s one greatest wish inspires him or her to continue living with exuberance. We feel that the doctors provide the medicine, and we provide the magic!
